My roommate and I were swamped with projects and classwork this semester, but we still wanted to celebrate Thanksgiving with our friends. At first we were going to have a small gathering with just a few people, but we're Thankful for everybody so we invited everyone from school who makes us smile. There was no way it couldn't be pot luck. We both work part time in addition to having class and rehearsal, and we're college students so money isn't real. Also, we both had no time to cook anything except mashed potatoes and oven ready spanakopita from
Trader Joe's. At my roommate's Thanksgiving last year I witnessed a mashed potato competition while eating chicken nuggets. This year we made turkey hands and a sleepover.

| I made this scarecrow in third grade. He comes out for Halloween and Thanksgiving. |

| I used a wire hanger and leaves from around my campus to make this wreath! It is hanging on an owl hook I bought at Urban for two dollars. Beneath the table you will find an apple cinnamon Glade PlugIn. The three vases were a total of three dollars from Philly AIDS Thrift. |

| But if it was a smaller gathering it would have looked like this. |

| Last year we used the counter as a buffet and the coffee tables as the dinner table. This year we used our kitchen table for plates and people ate where ever. Sometimes the quality of the food is more important than the layout of the plates, especially with this many people. That casserole was the best I've had. |
